       In the case of using imitation stone paint for exterior wall renovation of old houses, considering that the walls have aged, their hardness and crack resistance may decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a mesh when applying anti-cracking mortar.

There are several benefits to applying a mesh to old exterior walls. First, it can prevent hollow spots on the walls, avoiding the occurrence of hollow spots on the wall surface during later spraying and plastering, which would affect the decorative effect.

Furthermore, applying a mesh can reduce the likelihood of wall cracks. Since the overall performance of old houses has somewhat declined, if there were hidden cracks in the wall originally, applying materials directly without a mesh could lead to the expansion of these cracks, causing the coating to crack. Therefore, applying a mesh is necessary.

Moreover, in terms of the wall's strength, applying a mesh can strengthen the wall, increasing its crack resistance and hardness coefficient, preventing later peeling of the imitation stone paint coating. If the wall of the old house is already partially peeling or if some parts of the wall need refurbishing, applying a mesh is even more necessary.

In summary, when applying imitation stone paint to old houses or old wall surfaces, applying a mesh is a must. It can enhance the wall's hardness, crack resistance, and prevent cracking and peeling. This is beneficial both for the wall itself and for the subsequent construction.
